Halo: Glasslands QUOTES

1 " Humans would never tell the simple truth when a lie was available.... "

― Karen Traviss , Halo: Glasslands

2 " And knowing my luck … that’ll be the Engineer sign for “Your mom’s a skank. "

― Karen Traviss , Halo: Glasslands

3 " Revenge might give you a warm feeling, but unless it delivers some lasting results you might as well have a nice cup of mocha instead. "

― Karen Traviss , Halo: Glasslands

4 " We don’t do psyop. We’ve never worked with Spartans before. And we’re definitely not trained for this spook stuff. But how hard can it be? They were ODSTs. They could do anything. It was all about the right attitude—a commando’s state of mind. “Hi, BB,” Mal said. “Take us to Hinge-head World, then. "

5 " The Engineer began dismantling the helmet at a breakneck speed, stacking the components—faceplate, lining, mikes, data processor, even microfans—on the nearest flat surface, a hydroplane-like structure on a small vessel. "

6 " MARK DONALDSON WAY, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: AUSTRALIA DAY, TWO MONTHS AFTER THE BATTLE OF EARTH, JANUARY 26, 2553. "

― Karen Traviss , Halo: Glasslands

7 " I don’t want to worry you,” he said, “but some Kig-Yar have put out a mev-ut on you and Vaz for shooting up their buddies on Reynes.” “That’s bad, is it?” “If they catch you, yes. It’s a reward for bringing back body parts as proof of a kill.” “Any parts in particular? I use some of mine more than others.” “With UNSC, it’s heads and cervical vertebrae. And they love ones with neural implants.” “Dearie me. "

8 " Oh, I’m coming too.” BB rotated and moved in Naomi’s direction. “A fragment of me will remain here to pilot the ship, but I’ll transfer to the Mjolnir. We’ve never done this for real before, by the way. Have we, Naomi?” “Why now?” “Why not? I know I’m not your dedicated AI, but I can do anything Cortana can.” Mal picked up a little rivalry there. He’d have to ask about Cortana later. "

9 " BB didn’t say a word. Maybe integrating into Naomi’s systems had shut him up for once. Mal decided to keep a watchful eye on the relationship. Everyone was getting on fine: better than fine, in fact, a really close-knit and easy-going team. The last thing they needed was a Spartan saddled with an AI she didn’t want. But that wasn’t a problem he could solve, given that they were the two most advanced and expensive pieces of defense technology the UNSC had ever produced. They were stuck with each other. "
